Specificatii
Wastelanding tells the history of the uranium industry on Navajo
land in the U.S. Southwest, asking why certain landscapes and the
peoples who inhabit them come to be targeted for disproportionate
exposure to environmental harm. Uranium mines and mills on the
Navajo Nation land have long supplied U.S. nuclear weapons and
energy programs. By 1942, mines on the reservation were the main
source of uranium for the top-secret Manhattan Project. Today, the
Navajo Nation is home to more than a thousand abandoned uranium
sites. Radiation-related diseases are endemic, claiming the health
and lives of former miners and nonminers alike.Traci Brynne Voyles
argues that the presence of uranium mining on Dine (Navajo) land
constitutes a clear case of environmental racism. Looking at
discursive constructions of landscapes, she explores how
environmental racism develops over time. For Voyles, the wasteland,
where toxic materials are excavated, exploited, and dumped, is both
a racial and a spatial signifier that renders an environment and
the bodies that inhabit it pollutable. Because environmental
inequality is inherent in the way industrialism operates, the
wasteland is the other through which modern industrialism is
established.In examining the history of wastelanding in Navajo
country, Voyles provides an environmental justice history of
uranium mining, revealing how just as civilization has been defined
on and through savagery, environmental privilege is produced by
portraying other landscapes as marginal, worthless, and pollutable.
